As usual my entire family is heading down to KL for the annual family church camp. We'll be at the Glenmarie USJ in KL this year, apparently right across the street from my uncle's place. Cool! =D
Will be gone from 17-20th June. And when I get back, will be heading to NUH for further follow up to have a certain growth removed. Sigh. I've delayed enough, time to have it done.

Old Pontian Cafe
I was hanging around CCK Lot 1 the other day after tuition and decided to have dinner out since I would be starving by the time I arrived home. That's when I came across a new stall in the Lot 1 shopping mall that served Pontian style wanton noodles.
Now this is not the first time I've come across the so-called Pontian wanton noodles and the one across the road from my house is so-so, at best in taste. The noodles aren't bad but the wantons are little more than a token smear of filling (more like a dab) and a whole lot of empty wanton skin.
This Pontian Cafe outlet (I saw one at Bt. Panjang as well) served portions of noodles in small ($3.30) and large ($3.80). I ordered the large with chilli and was pleasantly surprised by the noodles and the wantons both. A hefty amount of noodles were given with a few slices of char siew and a couple of fried wantons. This came with a bowl of soup (too much msg in this) with some boiled wantons as well. The noodles had a wonderful chewy texture, were cooked al dente (as the Italians love to say) and although it was a large bowl of noodles, I finished it all! The wantons had just enough filling, not over or under-filled.There could have been more char siew and I wouldn't have minded a little more wantons, but overall, the noodles were good and I only paid $3.50(think the other price is for take away).
The cafe also serves other types of noodles, but its only my first visit. Maybe next time I will try the other dishes and get back to you on those. >_< (And no, they are not paying me to advertise for them. LOL.)
P.S: In my hurry to eat up the noodles, I didn't take a pic. Will do so next time I go there. And yes, there will be a next time, I really like the noodles =D.
